Adventures in Paraguay: September 2008
http://courtneyinparaguay.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 28, 2008. Why does America control Coca Cola? To an American, this may be an odd question. But to the average Paraguayan, it is completely legitimate. And why did I put that question in quotes? Bueno… I am a politician. I am an ambassador. My name is Lisa Simpson, and I am from Springfield, USA. I am every American family. And if you have traveled outside of those beautiful United Sates of America, you have been too. So before I get too deep, let’s meet C...8220;Ustedes son Americanas!

Adventures in Paraguay: March 2009
http://courtneyinparaguay.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 17, 2009. I have been asked many times what my daily, “9 to 5”, schedule is like here in Paraguay. What does it mean to be a Peace Corps volunteer? What time do you wake up everyday? What time does your day end? 8220;Umm, yea… Courtney, I’m going to need you to go ahead and come in to work tomorrow. Great, thanks.”. So with all of this said; why is it that at the end of the day I have my doubts about being a volunteer? 8220;This is the toughest job you will ever love.”.

Adventures in Paraguay: July 2008
http://courtneyinparaguay.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 15, 2008. How many Paraguayans can fit on a bus? If you can touch any part of the bus, it´s going! Chipa is a Paraguayan bread that comes in many shapes. It`s baked, and sometimes stuffed with meat and cheese. Best when eaten hot. or made by the man with the curly mullet in Guarambare). Wait, where is that? Yes dating days: If you are seen with the opposite sex (not being your spouse of course) on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, or Sunday, it will assumed by EVERYONE that you are dating. A...

Adventures in Paraguay: June 2008
http://courtneyinparaguay.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 8, 2008. But first, the basics. Currently, I am trainging to become a Peace Corps Volunteer in Guarambare, Paraguay (which is about an hour outside of the capital city of Asuncion). My training will last until August, at which point (if all goes well) I will be sworn in as a Peace Corps Voltunteer, and sent off to live on my own for the next two years. Exciting, I know. So, those are the basics! Till next time. Chau. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Peace Corps, Paraguay.

Adventures in Paraguay: November 2008
http://courtneyinparaguay.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 27, 2008. The Land of Opportunity. I have to start by saying that I truly do love Paraguay. Within the 6 months that I have lived here (3 months in training, and 3 months in site) I have grown to regard Paraguay as a second home. I have even caught myself having conversations with other volunteers about retiring here, down the road! But, unfortunately, under the smiles, hugs, and kisses exists serious political, economical, and social issues. The Muni handles money. What my community l...
